THE FOREIGN ELEMENT.

In the position assumed by The STATES
MAN, in common with many leading pa
pers of the country, in favor of modifying
foreign immigration to this country, il
does not wish to be und erstood as casting
any reflection on the great body of for
eign residents in Texas, and who form SO
important feature of our population
1t is only against the dynamlters, the
socialists, the dangerous agitators, the
criminals and pauper classes of the for
eign element that we object, those
who have already made so
much trouble for the country.
Speaking for the foreign element in
Texas, as body, they are, as a rule, as
honest, law-abiding good citizens as can
be found anywhere. Especially can this
be said of the Germans of our state, who
might we'll be made exemplars for indus
try, sobriety and love of law and order.
The Texas Irishman is also good and
useful citizen, and is better than some
men we have raised ourselves. Then,
again, in our towns, what more law
abiding class of residents and citizens than
the Hebrew of foreign birth?
And, strange to say, but it is true, the
majority of this foreign element in Texas,
particularly the Germans, born under
foreign despotisms, appear in the present
issue, involving the actual liberties of the
people, to have better appreciation of
freedom and respect for the principles on
which this government was originally
founded than large class of our native

THE SOUTH QUIEsCENT.

With an expected and natural unanimity
the papers of the south condemn the I'M
provoked, bitter and bowling rage of the
members of the Grand Army of the Re-
public and other bigoted political organi-
cations, over the proposed return of the
captured flags to the southern soldiery.
Had the south requested the return of
these flags; had petitions to this effect
gone up from all this section, and had the
order been founded upon pressure for
their return, then might there have been
some reasonable excuse for the fanatical
and wild outcry of opposition from some
of the northern people. For it is not be-
lieved that the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie nor such governors as he who now holds
power in Kansas, truly represent the great
burden of the feeling in the north on this
question. The men who in such reckless
fashion have cried no, are more than
union soldiers, they are republicans;
they are scheming, tricky politicians;
nor is it believed the true motive was al
legged by them in opposing this return.
They still cling to that putrid thing, the
bloody shirt. They could not, with
equanimity, think of that vile and noisome
garment being forever rent and destroyed,
as it would have been by the moral effect
incident to the fact of the return of those
battle stained flags, and the incidents
connected Herewith. 1t was because of
this the hue and cry went up, and on this
ground alone it is regretted the president
paused in his intention. The south neither
sought after nor greatly desired these
relics. 1t would have gladly accepted
them, had they been rendered in spirit
befitting the occasion, and ever have cher
ished the lesson their return would have
taught. But, as the case now stands, the
south has no regrets. The south holds
the vantage ground The south's gran
deur, sprung from the ashes and blood of
the war, is by this affair untarnished. The
south can bide its time and await
the overtures that must come, when |
love and respect shall have spanned the
gap flung open by these displays of north
ern hate and intolerance. Yet, the north /
is not blamed-it is rather pitied for the
attitude in which it is now placed by these
bigoted, irresponsible men.
The greatest satire upon republican gov
eminent is that the truest and best con-
victions of the greatest worth are not
worked out. The many suffer for the
projected and prominent evils of the
vicious, unrepresentative few. So it's
now, and the south pities and forgives.

THE GOVERNOR OF KANSAS.

The ludicrous but insane rawlings of
General Fairchild, commander-iu-chief
of that pension-getting, office-grabbing
machine, the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie, might have been expected. But the
people of the south, at least its old SOL
diers, were hardly prepared for such an
outburst of genuine hatred and punic
perfdy as that which emanated from
Governor Martin, of Kansas, state more
nearly allied to us geographically and
by business and other associations
than any other of the northern states.
1t had been thought that the old satanic
feeling that ranked in the bosom of
bleeding Kansas" toward us, before and
during the war, had died out, and we were
all friends again. But it is mistake, as
shown by the mean, contemplate and
malevolent spirit displayed by Governor
Martin in the flag business. We knew
before that "bleeding, shrieking, howl
ing, prohibition bitten Kansas" was a
hotbed and a generating den of fanaticism
and meddlesome fanatics. But nobody in
Texas ever believed the hatred of
its people equalled the extent
indicated by the message TO the preside mt
concerning the flags. Just here let it be
said that we ask nothing of the people of
Kansas; nothing of the mean and despic-
able puppet who occupies their guber
chair. No. not even the few
pieces of old and torn bunting, begrimed
with the smoke of battle.

saints around the altar with intOxicat inc
wine, but the saints away from the altar
cannot have it! This is, indeed, new
neutrality-suspicious. theology.
Let US compare it, briefly, with scripture
theology concerning the use of wine. God
commanded the use of wine in the weekly,
monthly and annual sacred services of the
tabernacle and temple. He carried the
wine bottle from the services of the Old
Testament church to the New in
the person of His beloved Son,
He did not forbid saints or sinners its
use, and he manufactured it Himself.
And mark this, DR.. Carroll, " inc is the only
material thing Christ ever produced
by miracle. He furnished "the good
wine" by miracle to saints and sinners
at private wedding feast, and not around
the sacramental altar. Dare you pervert
scripture, as some false Interpreters do,
that "the good wine" Christ miraculously
manufactured was unfermented grape
juice? Unfermented grape juice is not
called wine day, and never was, and
by no means good wine." This prohibi-
ton Interpretation of "good wine" with
grape juice" is about twenty-five years
old, and is refuted, by Jewish, Rabbi and
Christian theologians, from the days of
the Babylonian captivity to to 1.-The year
1887, A. d. Roman and Greek Catholics,
Lutheran, Episcopal and Presbyterian
theologians, are unit intheir interpreta-
ton OF good wine" of Christ's miracle as
meaning fermented or alcoholic wine.
This miracle of the Master, like every
act of Deity, is word of doctrine, and
every word of God is an increasing po-
tent act. The Savior's creative word in
the miracle of the wine is all-speaking to
man, Offering him wine as a beverage,
is still word of Providence bidding the
vine to bear its luscious fruit and the
power of fermentation to do its work.
The amendment that makes it crime for
the disciple to manufacture wine from
grapes for beverage purposes, anathema-
tlzes the Masters miracle of the wine The
only way to evade this conclusion is to
represent "the good wine" of Christ as
not alcoholic, or as no wine at all. Your
prohibition theology is unsound, as your
prohibition craftsmanship is without au-
thority and unwise.
1t has not "come to stay" but is a
wandering Arab with his lance raised
against state and church, though clothed
in the white garb Of charity for the drunk
ard and his victims of strong drink. 1t is
sounding bell and a tinkling cymbal for
it lacks that highest charity, love of truth
and obedience to 1t. G. p. ELIOT.

\ RECKLESS ASSERTION.

The Galveston News, in reply to an ar
tlcle in THE STATESMAN concerning the
liability of Houston and Galveston to
yellow fever epidemics, asserts that Aus
tin is likewise subject to the same dis
ease.
Mere assertion is always easy-the
proof to back it, is sometimes more diff
ticult The facts are against the News
assertion. The statement is here made
on authority of one of the Oldest and best
known practicing physicians ofAustin, DR..
Morris, that during the epidemics that have
in the past, decimated Texas seaboard
towns, imported cases of yellow
fever have been known in this
city. But the disease did not
spread, although there was as much
chance of an epidemic starting from those
solitary cases, as when, according to the
late DIR. Greenville Dowell, single case
from the lower coast started, in Galveston,
the great epidemic of 1867. When these
imported cases of Yellow Jack appeared
in Austin, the epidemic was raging at
other points. 1t is presumed that the
conditions favorable to the contagion, ex-
listed in the city at the time to as great a
degree as they will ever exist. Yet,
the malady did not take hold.
These facts, in connection with the I'M
surpassed salubrity of our city and its
freedom from malaria, while not abso-
lutely demonstrating immunity any more

ent.-AUsTIN STATESMAN.
The news columns of public journal
should be kept clean of everything that
destroys their value. In such columns
statements of facts only are legitimate,
and correspondents who desire to present
biased report would fail of their pur-
pose if their wishes were gratifed, for the
reason that if argument and criticism and
comment are permitted to one, they would
be permitted to all, and thus, no advan-
tage would accrue to either party to any
CONTROVERSY. Newspapers want CORE
spondents to send news and facts, and not
to express opinions or criticise; for this
latter service others are employed.

ACCORDING to South Carolina dis
patch, labor agitators are making trouble
between the negroes and their employers,
the farmers. A strike is threatened,
which, at this season, would prove disas-
trious. The farmers threaten these in
cendiaries with force, if they do not
quit their interference. Evidently
they belong to a dangerous class of
Intermediates, and the farmers cannot
be blamed for making it hot for them.

IT'S the one resort of Texas if she is 200
poor to pay good men reputable salary,
one that would not insult them, by being
an impeachment of their ability. The
last legislature is something that should
never be repeated in the history of the
state. Never let such another blush be
put to the cheek of the Lone Star state.

The Austin Prohibitionist should at
least be honorable in its conduct of the
campaign. TIVE STATESMAN published the
card over the name of austin Mother"
in good faith, and just as it was handed
in. 1t was a bona fide communication.
and written by lady of Austin, as THE
STATESMAN has declared upon several oc-
casions. The statement of the Prohibi-
ZIONIST that "now, after all, it turns ont
that the Austin Mother is six foot anti
of the masculine persuasion" is wholly
false in every particular. As such we
brand it as an assertion unworthy the
journal in which il is found, and ma
liciously untrue.

The San Antonio Times as ks the fol
lowing questions:
"How did it happen that two prohi-
bition leaders, DR.. B. II. Carroll and Hon.
W. s. Herndon, were selected to deliver
the addresses at the State University this
year! Any significance in it?"
Not particle OF significance IN it. DR..
Carroll was invited to preach, before this
prohibition contest was sprung upon the
state. And Colonel Herndon has two sons
in attendance at the University, he was
recognized as an eloquent, able man, and
was some months ago chosen as the orator
to speak before the literary societies. One
speaker was chosen by the faculty, the
other by the students, and neither selec-
ton eau have any political or prohi-
bition significance whatever.

Constitutional Catarrh.

No single disease has entsiled more suffer
ing or hastened the breaking up of the con-
stitution than catarrh. The sense of smell, OF
TASTE of sight, of hearing the human voice,
the mind --one or more, and sometimes all,
Weld to its destructive influence. The poison
il distributes throughout the system attacks
every vital force and breaks up the most 70
bust of constitutions. Ignored, because but
little understood, by most ply sicians, impo-
tently assailed by quacks and charlatans,
those suffering from 1t have little hope TO pc
relieved OF 1t this side of the grave. 1t Is
time then that the popular treatment OF this
terrible disease by remedies within the reach
of all passed into hands at once competent
and trustworthy. The new and hitherto I'M
tried method adopted by DR.. Sanford in the
preparation of his RADICAL CURE has won the
hearty approval Of thousands. II is instanta-
neoss In affurding relief in all head colds,
sneezng, snuffiing and INSTRUCTED breathing
and rapidly removes the most oppressive
symptoms clearing the head, sweetening the
breath restoring the senses of smell, taste and
hearing, and neutraizing the constitutional
tendency of the disease towards the lnngs,
liver and kidneys.
